FAST Conjugate Aircraft Observations
Aircraft Data Summary (February 4)



February 4, 1998 Aircraft Data Summary

       Orbit: 5754
       Conjunction: 08:34:44 
       Aircraft Position: 68.67 N  160.83 W
       Direction of flight: South
       Auroral Condition: There was a lot of auroral motion overhead, with
                          a large spiral discrete arc which diminished in
                          intensity and structure to a relatively diffuse
                          aurora as the time of conjuction approached. 
                          The bright arc in the north brightened at this time.

              ASC: bright arc to the north, diffuse aurora overhead
              AFT: diffuse aurora
              FWD: diffuse aurora
